N95 is it a good business phone ?

[McBunny]

i think i should get a company mobile, the contract is with orange and the boss has been buying spv e650's and i really dont like them but is a n95 a suitable alternative ?

 

[Tom]

No.

Nokia business phones start with an E.

N-Series phones are media centric.

 

[Adam K]

no, the battery life is crap, and yes i own one.

plus if ur using an N95 all day the battery wont last long, I have to charge mine every night, but it is a good phone apart from that

so what would you suggest ? the spv e650 i just cant get on with and it seems to hang everytime you use it

 

[Tom]

Based on orange's current line up

1. E61i
2. 6300
3. 6500 Classic

 

[veaney]

only good thing about the n95 is the camera

 

[McBunny]

what about non nokia ?

 

[Tom]

Samusung I600
HTC TynIII
BB 8820

 

[McBunny]

tbh they all seem shite i should stay with my 6310i

 

[McBunny]

can the bb's be used without a bb server as we wont get one they wont pay for it

 

[Adam K]

my w810i had awesome battery life, so i would probably go for a k850i if i had the choice.

 

[McBunny]

i really have fallen out of love with phones it needs to be able to do email easily with exchange 2003

 

[Tom]

E61i/Windows mobile phone.

 

[David]

turn off wifi on the n95 and it's not bad. you can get exchange for it etc. otherwise i guess it would be a HTC or the otherones suggested..

 

[DrR]

What do you need it to do?

 

[McBunny]

well me my self just make calls text thats it as all i have used since i bust my k800 2 or 3 years ago

but from a work point of view e-mail pref not pop3 i really could do with an exchange intergrated phone i have about 2gig of e-mail
id like wifi 3g or edge thats about it if it had gps woohoo if not ah well

 

[Tom]

HTC TynIII or E61i

I wouldn't bother with the N95 as a business phone, I use mine as a business/ personal phone and its useless. Battery life, too big, frequent crashes, having said that mine is very much a friday afternoon example and vodafone are about to exchange it for a brand new one, which will be going straight on ebay.
